Apparently, the Rufous Whistler used to be known as the Rufous-breasted Thickhead due to its “noticeable breadth of cranium” The source website itself quotes its own source, the delightfully titled “The Useful Birds of Southern Australia”, R Hall, 1907.

There is a variation in the plumage of Australian Magpies across Australia and as such they looked different in Victoria. Whenever I walked from Foster to Fish Creek or Foster to Toora I encountered several family groups of Australian Magpies. Late last year I mentioned the presence of Australian Magpies around Broome.

They are widespread throughout Australia , but it does not mean you necessarily easily observe them. By the size of the juvenile birds the adults must have laid the eggs several months ago when the rains came to that area of Western Australia. We soon observed several bird species and then a Yellow-billed Spoonbill flew overhead.

If there’s one group of birds that just won’t let you be miserable it would have to be the Grey-crowned Babbler. They are usually in a group and our garden regularly has a family group of eight visit it. In the southern areas of Australia you may also encounter White-browed Babblers , which are smaller and duller.
